Beat the Heat with a Frozen Treat!

—

Whether you are in the northeast or the southwest, this summer has been a scorcher!

When you break a sweat walking from your front door to your car, it should tell you something. Summer temperatures take away my appetite for big meals, in favor of crisp, refreshing salads and icy smoothies.

So, what makes a Smoothie a Green Smoothie?

It is the addition of one or more leafy green vegetables! Greens can range from Spinach or Kale to Swiss Chard or Beet Greens. Whatever you have on hand can be tossed into your blender for an added nutritional boost. For those Green Smoothie newbies out there, I recommend starting with spinach. Of all the “greens”, Spinach has the most innocuous flavor.

Here are a few of my favorite Green Smoothie recipes. To preface, not all Green Smoothies are green in color. Sometimes they are purple, brown, or even red!

These sound healthy and simple, especially when we are so busy and the day goes by quickly! Thanks! Also, more fiber in the smoothies can help with weight loss when we need it and maintenance, everything in moderation, is the key!
